I'll Always Pick You

A little experiment today with layers, colors, and alignment.  Outside my comfort zone but liking it. I guess I would call this clean and layered.

Warm Memories

I thought about using this for a MnT for an upcoming crafty day but decided it didn't have enough customizability plus I don't think the gals especially like to sponge. Super cute in any case, however.  I especially love the squirrel on the right--adorable.

Alpacas for Mens

Sick of my alpacas yet?  Damn straight, you're not!  I went a bit more masculine with this card.  However, I can't resist a bit of the glam so glittered up the snowpeaks and scalloped snow edges tho you can't tell in the pic. I wish Photoshop had a glitter setting.  Oh, heck, probably does. LOL.

SOSS #120 - P is for Pink Halloween

We're all about the pink and all about the Halloween this fortnight at The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers.  What a combo, huh?  Easier than you may think to do.

For my card, I created a lovely Autumnal background using Distress Oxides.  The skeleton was embossed on a piece of sponged cardstock that I had discarded from another project. The sentiment popped into my head the moment I saw this stamp.  What question is scarier than this one?  And I love the look at the owl's face:  I dare you to answer.  LOL!

Alpaca Wishes

I think of this as my cootie card since I've been sick all week but finally have enough energy to do more than lie down. I wish cooties were as cute as these alpacas!  A lot of coloring, a bit of sponging and masking, and there you have it.  Adorable!
